Dr. Martin G. Fronske. former NAU team
physician and a Flagstaff pediatrician for more
than .>0 years, died Monday at the Friendship
Village Care Center in Tempe.
Fronske died at age 100, having celebrated that
Milestone last December.
Services for the doctor were Friday at the
Federated Community Church, where the doctor
was a charter member and a former trustee. The
doctor’s grandson. Rev. Edward Juniper Fronske.
officiated.
He was bom in St. Louis, Mo., in 1883 of Ger­man
immigrants. He graduated from Washington
University School of Medicine in St. Louis in 1907.
Fronske came to Flagstaff in 1914 from St.
Louis, in hopes the dry air of Arizona would help
cure his infected lungs from tuberculosis.
He was a bronze medalist in the 1904 Olympic
Games. He won the bronze medal in the high jump
according to a story in the Arizona Republic.
The lowest bidder on both contracts. Interroyal
Corp., requested the action carried out by
Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Bernard
Dougherty, the Republic said.
‘"’There were things Interroyal felt were not
handled properly by the university.” said Interroyal
spokesman Bemie Hawes.
He established his medical practice in Flagstaff
in 1914 and retired after more than .>0 years of prac­tice.
in 1958.
Fronske was a longtime physician for NAU and
Flagstaff High School.
In 1979, past president of NAU Dr. J. Lawrence
Walkup honored Fronske by naming NAU’s health
center in his honor. This was the first time any
building on the NAU on the NAU campus had been
named after someone still living.
Fronske was a member of the NAU Sports Hall
of Fame and Arizona Sports Hall of Fame. He
received the first honorary- doctoral degree bestow­ed
by NAU and was co-founder of the Flagstaff
Medical Center.
When celebrating his 100th birthday last Dec. 9.
Fronske revealed his secret of long life. “Live life to
the fullest extent, pay no attention to yourself, and
let the years roll by."
Survivots include his two sons Robert. Flagstaff;
and Jack. Clarkdale: 11 grandchildren and nine
great-grandch ildren.
The Arizona Board of regents filed a special ac­tion
with the Arizona Supreme Court Thursday,
asking that the ruling be overturned.
“ Intei-royal's bid was close to $40,000 low,"
Hawes said. “You can educate a lot of students for
$443,000.
“We didn’t feel that the low bid was the best
overall,” said Regents President Tio A. Tachias.
“ Low doesn’t necessairily mean best. We went
along with this as a recommendation by the NAU
administration regarding unsatisfactory quality of
the product."
“ We were assured by the architect and the
university that our product would be given con­sideration,”
Hawes said. “ R-Way’s bid was ac­cepted,
late, two days after the scheduled bid open­ing.
T hat’s not exactly fair competition.”
“ Among other things. R-Way algo did not have
product samples as every bidder was required to
have” Hawes said.
“The administration did not feel this was the type
and quality of furniture they would like to have in
the ridge." said J.Wr. Hesketh. NAU director of
student services planning.
Judge Dougherty ruled, however, that Interroyal
had been assured by NAU that its furniture was
superior to specifications, the Republic said.
NAU has often had individuals enter the political
arena from its ranks.
This year is no different as David McKell,
associate professor of sociology , is the latest NAU
employee to run for a public office.
“To the best of our knowledge, no one at the
university made that statement,” said David
Markee. vice president of student services.
“ Dougherty made that ruling as a a result of Inter­royal's
data.”
According to court records. Intenroyal submitted
the low bid of $238,301 to supply desks, desk hut­ches
and three-drawer chests and $95,703 to supply
bed frames, springs and matresses.
The contract for desks, desk hutches and three-drawer
chests w'as awarded to R-Way Co. which
made a proposal of $275,255. a difference of
$16,954.
Goodman’s Office Furnishings was awarded the
contract for the bed frames, springs and matresses.
making a proposal of $118.757. a difference of $23.
054.
The Republic said Hesketh. in his affidavit, told
the court that NAU had planned to receive the fur­niture
by July 1 to enable the residence hall to be
used for conferences during the first three weeks of
August.
“We are hoping this action will be resolved
within two weeks," said David Markee. vice presi­dent
of student services. “We have a contract
obligation to fulfill with the students signed up to
live in the Ridge.
McKell announced his candidacy for Coconino
County Supervisor for District Three at a press con­ference
Monday at the Monte Vista Hotel. District
three includes Sedona. Williams and West
Flagstaff.
“Coconino Courtly is at a crossroads, McKell
said. At the present time the county is experiencing
rapid development and population increases which
are putting tremendous pressure on county govern­ment
to respond to the problem. Only through
comprehensive planning involving individual
citizens, government, business and educational t
leaders can we solve the future problems of
Coconino County.”
“ I will bring to this office leadership, experience
and vision.” he said.
McKell, 45. has been an instructor at NAU since
1974 and has experience in both corrections and
social work.
He is currently chairman of the Northern
Arizona Probation. Parole and Correction*
Association and a senator on the NAU Academic
Senate.
“Together we can set a course of action that will
take us into the future with confidence,” McKell
concluded.
